Serious Gaming Wheel On Its Way For Xbox 360 From Fanatec

(Porsche 911 Turbo Wheel for the PS3/PC shown. Xbox 360 version may vary)

This will probably be one of the greatest news for Xbox 360 gamers who had to suffer from the somewhat horrid racing game hardware, aka the Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel. It has been a while that racing fans of Forza 2 who wants a better gaming experience by using a gaming wheel, had to suffer from having no choice but to buy the only force feedback wheel that is available for the console.

While that may not be such a big problem if the wheel is in fact good, but when it is not, gamers will have to make a choice between spending their hard earn cash for something iffy or be contented with driving with their thumb and index fingers. Obviously the casual-er gamers with a casual driving game might not care so much about playing with a controller, but when games like Forza 2 which was marketed as a "simulation" for more hardcore gamers, IMO, playing without a good wheel would seem a bit meaningless.

Well, all that is going to change very soon thanks to Fanatec, the makers of the "Porsche 911 Turbo Wheel" for the Ps3 and PC. According to Fanatec, the Xbox 360 version is already pass the prototype stage and currently being tested by gaming developers such as SimBin. To ensure that the "Porsche 911 Turbo S Wheel" will be 100% compatible with SimBin's upcoming race sim "RACE Pro" for the Xbox 360, prototype of the gaming wheel has already been sent to the developer's hands to be integrated into the game.

While a release date for the "Porsche 911 Turbo S Wheel" has yet to be determined, but pre-production units might soon be avaliable for our preview. Subscribe to our feed and stay tuned!
